** If you see your Guru as a Buddha, you will recieve the blessings of a Buddha ** If you see your Guru as a Boddhisatva, you will recieve the blessings of a Boddhisatva ** If you see your Guru as a friend, you will only receive the blessings of a friend **

Do You Want to be Happy? ~ Gharwang Rinpoche

If someone keeps comparing themselves with others, anybody who happens to be richer, more famous, or more powerful,

then one will never find happiness in his or her heart. If someone truly wants to be happy, to be loved and respected, then it is wise not to compare oneself with others, but just accept yourself and be contented. Respect yourself for who you are, because it is only you who can truly make yourself happy or unhappy - others can only assist you.
